Did You Know?
Moroccan mint tea, known as "atay" or "whiskey berbère," is a cornerstone of Moroccan hospitality and social life, traditionally prepared by the head of the household in an elaborate pouring ritual. The tea is poured from a height to create foam, a sign of respect and skill. While Chinese gunpowder green tea is now commonly used, the tradition of mint tea in North Africa predates its combination with green tea—indigenous Berber communities used wild mint for medicinal and ceremonial purposes long before trade routes brought Chinese tea to the region. The ritual of tea-making is a form of cultural expression, not just a beverage.
